[@JAStheACE]

I'm not here to tell you how to do your job, but watering concrete with a pressure washer is a bit over the top mate. Love the content so far and very impressed with your explanations. Thank Mark @ Iron Empire for bringing me here, Cheers Jake for being multitalented !!!

[@ryanmorgan6971]

Great video keep them coming how much should i expect to pay to get split tub on a vh commodore

[@JakesChopShop_]

Thanks boss! Sunday the next one will be out! That’s a loaded question because it depends what you want included, eg just the tin work or the diff too or maybe a coilover rear you know, but to give you an idea in the rear end in the video including spare tyre well delete and shortening the diff all up I’m at $3800 in labour

[@bigkev0350]

Can’t wait for more content mate, you do quality work.

[@JakesChopShop_]

I really appreciate the kind words mate

There’s one in the pipeline just finding the time is always a battle

[@grahambirt6004]

hi jake back in the 80s i had 4 monaros at one time 2 hks ,a ht and a hg one of the hks i payed 100 $ for just missing the front bucket seats 6cly the other hk was a freebee no motor or gearbox and it had a hr diff in it the tyres rubbed almost thru the inner guards the ht was half complete and the hg was just a shell now i cant afford abloody door handle cars where so cheap in the 80s and they were everywhere

[@JakesChopShop_]

How crazy is that! I wish I had that time! Honestly I had to sell a bloody mint sandman Ute that i fully built to afford this rusted stripped shell 😂

[@dennispietrobon8412]

hey jake why do you use a yellow wool pad and not the foam pad

[@JakesChopShop_]

Haha i honestly just didn’t film any of the other pad work, I sorta thought it would just get a bit too long winded, but I’m still learning what to chuck in the videos and what not, I’ll find the formula soon haha

[@roccoloops]

Thanks for doing in depth on the early commodore stuff -- makes me regret not going a split tub to get some more meat under the rear on mine! Question I did have -- that diff in the VK looks like a salisbury 8 bolt? Is there much to strengthening those? I know the gemini guys usually go billet axels but center wise doesnt seem like there's many options? Look forward to more content - cheers!

[@JakesChopShop_]

Cheers mate, I’ve got a whole video on early commodore stuff for tomorrow! The commodore BorgWarner diffs are pretty good with some 31 spline axels and a fresh centre

Life of a painter 80% Sanding 10% talking shit 10% spraying

[@JakesChopShop_]

Ain’t that the truth!

[@joz1751]

Are you a spray painter by trade ? How do y colour match without tinting system. That yellow can b a cnt sometimes When y explained the tubs an stuff but more info on wt y did when shit is double or tripled layered an the best way to figure out where to cut.. keeping shit neat throughout is an acquired skull I reckon Does your workshop do a fair bit of turnover ? I wish I could drop 10k on car parts I figured U just had the right idea an a house full somewhere. Props to y man keep at the vlogs eh

[@JakesChopShop_]

Hey man, nah I’m just a boilermaker by trade, yea yellow and silver are the worst! Haha sometimes the colours don’t work or you have to blend every time. I will do some more in-depth fab tutorials soon and explain that stuff!

[@janeblogs324]

How long till you overtake the iron empire lol? Your music is a touch to loud compared to your voiceover

[@JakesChopShop_]

Hahaha nah that would take a while I reckon, but yea I’ve made some changes for tomorrows video
